Talk:List of LCRV Wilderness Areas (Colorado River)

Only washes drain SE California
"Only washes drain the SE Calif desert." This is basically true. The eastern Colorado Desert is very dry. To the north in SE Nevada, Las Vegas and a few other drainages enter the Colorado River, by way of Lake Mead. There is typically very little actual water input except in flood stage of the washes, from thunderstorms (or snow melt).
